A ROSy future for metabolic regulation of HSC division

Unraveling the intracellular networks that regulate the self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is crucial to enhancing the efficacy of these therapeutic transplantable cells. A newly discovered pathway links a leukemia tumor suppressor gene with a nutrient sensor to regulate fatty-acid oxidation (FAO) and stem cell division—information with the potential for modulating hematopoiesis for clinical advantage (pages 1350–1358).
